On: What ORMs Have Taught Me: Just Learn SQL (2014)

If you're talking about linq I wouldn't call that an orm.

[tehlike → dnautics]

Linq + ef or linq + nhibernate. You can use linq to query against both.

[tehlike → tehlike]

Ef, entity framework, exposes an iqueryable which you can use linq to query against. Meaning you can use your orms entity model and query your database In a type-safe compile-time-checked manner.

Linq is more of a query builder than an orm, or am I wrong?

[jeswin → dnautics]

Linq is not an ORM, but Entity Framework is. But what makes EF interesting is Linq.
